1 Introduction to Chemistry
Papers go on pages 40 L/R

2 its structure, its properties, and how it changes
What is Chemistry, anyways? The study of matter- its structure, its properties, and how it changes

3 Matter Matter = any material substance with Mass & Volume

4 Matter- comes in 3 phases Liquid Solid Gas

5 Solid Definite Shape Definite Volume

6 Liquid Indefinite Shape – takes the shape of the container
Definite Volume

7 Gas Indefinite Shape – takes the shape of the container
Indefinite Volume – can expand and be compressed

8 Properties of Matter Characteristics of matter that can be observed using your senses, or can be tested during a chemical reaction Physical properties Chemical properties

9 Atoms The smallest type of matter is the atom
Atoms come in many varieties

10 Sub-atomic Particles Protons: in nucleus, positive charge, p+
Neutrons: in nucleus, no charge, n0 Electrons – orbiting nucleus, negative charge, e-

11 Elements -Matter made of only one kind of atom -118 known elements

12 Examples of Elements SYMBOL ELEMENT O Nitrogen Fe Silver C Calcium

13 Compounds Substance that is made up of different atoms bonded together Compounds have different properties than the individual elements H O  H2O -colorless, odorless gas -extremely flammable -BP: ̊ C -gas, liquid, solid -universal solvent -BP: 100̊ C -colorless, odorless gas -highly reactive -BP: -183̊̊̊ C

14 Examples of Compounds NaCl H2O KOH H2SO4 H2O2 Formula
Elements Involved Total # Atoms Compound Name NaCl H2O KOH H2SO4 H2O2

15 Types of Compounds or Inorganic Compounds Organic Compounds
usually don’t contain Carbon generally come from the earth generally simple molecules always contain Carbon, and usually H, O, N, sometimes S & P come from within organisms generally complex molecules

16 Examples of Inorganic Compounds
H + O = H2O = Water H + Cl = HCl = Hydrochloric Acid C + O = CO2 = Carbon Dioxide Na + Cl = NaCl = Common Table Salt

17 Examples of Organic Compounds
C, H + O Carbohydrates = Sugars, starches & cellulose C, H + O Lipids = Fats & Oils C, H, O, N, & sometimes P + S Proteins C, H, O, N, + P Nucleic Acids – DNA & RNA

18 Chemical Equations Atoms are not CREATED or DESTROYED during a chemical reaction. This is known as the LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS.
